It has been a year since EMPRESS by The Privé Group opened up within the Asian Civilisation Museum and I remember my last visit to this amazing space has left a lasting impression on how good the food actually was. Therefore, I was really excited to be given the opportunity to check out the Valentine's Day (2017) menu here at EMPRESS before anyone else got to sample it. From 13 February 2017 to 14 February 2017, indulge in intricately-prepared Cantonese fare with a romantic view of the iconic Boat Quay as you celebrate the season of love at EMPRESS.

Ran by the same people behind the popular Privé, Match and The Green Door, EMPRESS which is located at the Asian Civilisation Museum offers expansive space (indoors and outdoors, by the waterfront) for diners to enjoy some quality Cantonese-fare or simply a drink. Read on to find out more about this amazing (and beautiful!) restaurant by the river.

A brand new flagship concept has materialised at the recently re-launched Asian Civilisations Museum (ACM). EMPRESS by The Privé Group features design from Takenouchi Webb and it exudes a modern design that harmonizes the Chinese elements and ACM's historical reference. The high-ceiling indoor dining area creates a greater sense of space and the outdoor dining terrace offers an impressive waterfront view of the Singapore River. There is also an intimate private room known as Canton (up to 14 diners) for those who crave for a little more privacy.
